HBO Max, the new streaming service from AT&T T, +0.36% , is launching May 27, but really takes off in June, with a slew of movies and series — some original, others coming over from WarnerMedia’s many cable channels.

Among the highlights: The long-awaited third season of the millennial comedy/thriller “Search Party” (June 25); the HBO limited series “Perry Mason” (June 21), a noirish prequel to the iconic TV lawyer starring Matthew Rhys of “The Americans”; the HBO true-crime docuseries “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark” (June 28); and all 23 seasons of “South Park” (June 24).

That’s all in addition to the launch-day offerings, which include every season of “Friends,” “The Big Bang Theory,” and six originals: “Love Life,”a romantic-comedy anthology series starring Anna Kendrick; the controversial Russell Simmons documentary“On the Record”; “Legendary,”a voguing competition series; the kids competition show “Craftopia”; and new offerings from Looney Tunes and Sesame Street’s Elmo.

HBO Max costs $14.99 a month — the same as HBO Now or an HBO cable subscription — but if you sign up before May 27 you can get a year’s subscription for $11.99 a month.
